Donald Trump, who overcame impeachments, criminal indictments and a pair of assassination attempts to win another term in the White House, will be sworn in Monday as the 47th U.S. president taking charge as Republicans claim unified control of Washington and set out to reshape the country’s institutions.

The president said Democrats were "all 'giddy' about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at 'half mast' during my Inauguration."

At least 30 governors ordered flags to be flown at full-staff on Inauguration Day, raising flags before the end of the mourning period for Jimmy Carter.
